"After discussing this with our Director of Parents as Teachers, Rhonda Eubanks, we think there are many benefits to investing in Early Childhood programs, such as healthier brain development, higher educational outcomes, and increased social and emotional development. Higher quality childcare leads to more productive lives in adulthood, creating stronger family bonds, healthier families, and positive contributions to the community and society as a whole."

"Investing in early childhood initiatives and programs connects our youngest community members to a future of possibilities now. It provides young DuPage neighbors with a safety net of support that their care circle may need in raising a strong and empowered future leader and changemaker."

“As a business owner and consultant, I recognize the importance of acquiring workplace competencies. Preparing our future workforce begins with quality early childhood education. Our babies and preschoolers learn so much in their first three years that relates to their competencies in their future employment. It is not Just about what they learn in Kindergarten but what they learn to be ready for Kindergarten. Now is the time to invest in the workforce of the future and the leaders of tomorrow.”

"Investing in early childhood care and education refreshes our country's founding promise, made right at the Emancipation Proclamation, that all are created equal and entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Well supported early childhood care and education promotes equity and social justice, inclusive economic growth and advancing sustainable development."
David RothExecutive Director, DuPage Federation on Human Services Reform

“Investing in early childhood education is essential. It lays the foundation for lifelong learning, cognitive and social development, and wellbeing. High-quality early education significantly reduces future social cost, closes the achievement gap, and provides children with the skills to succeed.”

"Investing in early childhood education is important because it lays the groundwork for lifelong learning and helps to ensure a brighter future for all children and our community."
